Constant sweet taste
OK, so kind of strange, but I am having an episode of everything tasting mega sweet for a few days. I usually have about 1/3 pump of SF Torani Carmel syrup in my coffee with a small splash of goat milk. At the moment, I can't stand either. It tastes so overly sweet, like there are 2 or 3 sugars in there. I also eat SF…

Simple food, easy life, great success
Before I started LCHF, I was a foodie and loved to bake cakes & cookies, or create complicated recipes. I knew the only way I would succeed is by retraining myself and keeping things simple. The few things I have made (for instance low carb beef bolognese) I found the carbs add up so quickly with onions, peppers, etc. I…

Help with App please! Where to log measurements
Hello! I am returning after an 8 month break and moving from US to UK. I love to log, track, etc. It keeps me honest and I eat much less when I feel accountable for everything :-) I used to use both my Mac and the App, so I have logged back into both. My question is, I seem to remember that there was somewhere in the App…

I was called skinny today!
While I have a ways to go yet, a friend whom I have not seen since October said 'look at you, all skinny'. He is a sweetie and he definitely meant it in a nice way. It felt nice that someone had noticed a difference in me.

My Snack Dilemma......which would you choose>
With a 100 snack allowance, I had a choice between a 100 calorie bag of cinnamon almonds and a 90 calorie Fiber One Brownie Bar. Whist sorely tempted by the brownie, I opted for the almonds and boy am I glad. 10 minutes later and I am still here munching on them. The brownie would have been gone in 10 seconds! Which would…
